Main image: SINCE 2011, the world’s steelmakers have been feeling the heat. Prices for the metal have halved due to flatlining demand and rising exports from China, which now smelts 50% of the global output. Profits at steel firms around the world have fallen into a sea of red ink, shuttering plants and laying off workers. New

Madam Speaker, I rise to present the Budget for the year 2016-17. 2. I am presenting this Budget when the global economy is in serious crisis.

Amidst all these global headwinds, the Indian economy has held its ground firmly. Thanks to our...

Juncker: "The European Parliament is ridiculous."

Juncker: "The European Parliament is ridiculous."

Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker got angry at today’s (4 July) European Parliament plenary session reviewing the Maltese Presidency. Seeing the hemicycle almost empty, he called the parliament “ridiculous”.
“The European Parliament is ridiculous, very ridiculous. I applaud those who have bothered to turn up. But the fact that there are only about 30 MEPs here for this debate demonstrates that the Parliament is not serious,” Juncker said, with a frankness rare among political leaders.
“If Mr Muscat, the prime minister of Malta, had been Mrs Merkel or Mr Macron, we would have had a full house. The Parliament is totally ridiculous,” he added. As a Luxembourger, Juncker regularly expresses his dismay at the lack of respect shown by the larger EU members for their smaller partners.
The Commission president’s angry outburst provoked a strong reaction from Parliament President Antonio Tajani.
“Mr president, please show some respect. It is not up to the Commission to control the Parliament, it is the Parliament that controls the Commission,” the Italian MEP said in a vexed mix of Italian and French.
To Juncker’s renewed assertion that the absence of 95% of MEPs from the hemicycle made the institution “ridiculous”, Tajani replied: “Please use different language. We are not ridiculous. That is enough, please.”
Juncker said he would never again take part in this kind of meeting in the European Parliament.
“The Commission is subject to the control of the Parliament, but the Parliament must respect the presidency, even if it is held by the smaller countries, and this does...

Polish MEP launches sexist tirade in EU Parliament

Polish MEP launches sexist tirade in EU Parliament

Polish conservative politician Janusz Korwin-Mikke left the European parliament aghast at a debate on the gender pay gap in Europe when he insisted that \"women must earn less because they are weaker, they are smaller, they are less intelligent. They must earn less. That is all.\"
Korwin-Mikke offered some very strange evidence for his claims asking: \"Do you know how many women are in the first hundred of chess players?\" Before answering his own question with \"I tell you - no-one\". Former chess grandmaster \"Judit Polgar\":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judit_Polg%C3%A1r from Hungary might have something to say about that statement.
The 74 year-old\'s comments gave way to gasps of disbelief before Spanish MEP Iratxe Garcia-Perez took the floor to lambaste him....

Verhofstadt vs Tsipras full speech European Parliament 8 July 2015 English subtitles

Verhofstadt vs Tsipras full speech European Parliament 8 July 2015 English subtitles
On 3 July 2015, the Greeks rejected the bailout plan of the IMF, ECB and the European Commission in a referendum. 5 days later, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was invited by the European Parliament for a debate on his country... Watch both his reply and MEP Guy Verhofstadt\'s (ALDE fraction leader) in full.
Translation of Greek intervention is mine, and not on the account of Mr Tsipras.
For 5 months, negotiations have been indeed conducted behind closed doors but this is a huge political issue, about where we’re going to end up and we’ve seen today, from this very fruitful debate from the various contrasting views, which did not take the nature of state against state, in the Eurozone, they were highly political and I really do respect the views that were expressed, even those that were particularly rhetorical, and controversial. I fully agree with the view that has been put forward, that the Parliament has to play a more active role, how is it possible, I wonder, that we have 3 institutions, and we have the troika, and the Commission and the European Central Bank, well it’s there because it pays, but how is it possible, within the Troika, to have allowed people, who are taking decisions, that is the IMF, but it’s not the European Parliament, the heart of democracy in Europe. And I would like very honestly, to state that this is a European issue. If negotiations only exclusively conducted between the Greek side and the Commission, if that had been the case, than we would have come u...

The EU\'s Chief Negotiator for Brexit speaks at the EU Parliament on talks so far and EU aims, including settling the accounts (i.e. demanding an exit fee from Blighty)...

Clip uploaded under fair use/dealing -- this channel does NOT monetise its videos (any adverts are auto placed by copyright claimants through Youtube)....

The European Parliament has overwhelmingly approved a non-binding resolution that lays out its views on the Brexit negotiations.
The parliament will have no formal role in shaping the Brexit talks. The negotiations will be led by the European Commission on behalf of the EU\'s remaining 27 member states. Their draft negotiating guidelines were issued last week.
But the parliament\'s views still matter because under the Article 50 rules it will get a vote on the final EU-UK \"divorce\" deal and if it does not like what has been agreed it could demand changes and delay the process.
BBC Reality Check correspondent Chris Morris teases out some of the key sentences from the resolution and explains their significance.
Article 50 may be revoked
- A revocation of notification needs to be subject to conditions set by all EU-27, so that it cannot be used as a procedural device or abused in an attempt to improve on the current terms of the United Kingdom\'s membership;
Short grey line
This is interesting. It implies that the European Parliament thinks the UK can change its mind about Article 50 (whereas the UK government has implied the opposite). The truth is that irrevocability is the subject of legal dispute and, as this is a matter of interpreting a European treaty, the ultimate arbiter would be the European Court of Justice. Either way, the parliament makes clear here that it would not allow the UK to plead for a better deal if it tried to return - even the package of measures offered to David Cameron in February 2016 (remember this?) is now null and void.
